"Factitious Victimization" - defense say the prosecution will testify about this condition. The witness will be Dr. Park Dietz. Dietz was the witness in the Andrea Yates case in Houston, TX. Verdict overturned because of Dietz's testimony.

Points out the experts presented by the defense will be people who work their profession. Unless some witnesses of the prosecution who testify for a living.

"Power of Suggestion." - no one that night said OC did this to himself. But because of some disruntled employees of the Forensic Center, that talk of OC staged the whole attack.

Read some portions of cops' interview. "Cop said I don't believe he did it to himself."

Read portions of interview between OC and Assistant US Attorney Pat Harris.
"OC: I think there is someone out there you should be nailing and its not me."
Harris: I dont think you're telling us the truth. You need to tell us the truth Dr. Smith. OC: I think we're at an empass. I"ll have my beliefs you have my beliefts.
I hope you find the right guy."

Harris: The stroies are inconsistent.
OC: "B*****t".

January 25th hearing - Hutton says OC testified during Workman Clemency hearing.
Are you aware that OC got involved in the case on his own? Yes.

Appeared on the Mike Fleming show on April 1, 2001. Fleming wanted to talk about stay of execution of Workman. Hutton says there was a comment made by Fleming that are you aware that OC's testimony. Hutton says he has concerns about OC's testimony.

Harris shows Hutton letter. (exhibit one). Shows letter to jury. Asks Hutton to read letter.
Letter opens with the initials JMJ. Hutton says that stands for : "Jesus Mary and Jospeh." It's a very pius practice.
Hutton reads letter. "The evil one is in the body of OC Smith."

What did you do with the letter when you received it Mr. Hutton?
* I get a lot of strange letters. This one is strange because its threatening Dr. Smith and it had a huge religious overtones. I first thought it was just some nut.
This letter made no sense in context of the Mike Fleming show. Hutton says he called Medical Examiner's office about the letter. Please tell Dr. Smith about it. Then he called Asst. District Attorney Campbell about the letter. The letter was given to the TBI. Didn't touch it again, placed it in an envelope to be careful for fingerprints.

Cross examination by defense.
* Defense say Hutton's fingerprints were the prints found on the annonymous letter sent to him. Eight fingerprints.on on letter.
* Asked Hutton are you a very conservative Catholic. Hutton says don't like conservative, but rather be traditional. "Catholic faith is very important to me."
* Asked him you've been on talk shows to talk about religion - even before the attack on Dr. Smith and even before the letter.
* Told defense we've talked about abortion, death penalty, homosexual marriage on radio talk shows.
* Examining letter now: "Long have I waited the SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS." (from letter). Defense: What does that mean? Hutton: To be ordained into the priesthood. Defense: Do you think this person wants to be a priest. Hutton: I guess thats possible.
* Defense asks if Hutton was denied to be a priest.

*Defense gives Hutton some documents. Huttons thinks its another anonnymous letter sent to him.
* You cant say if Dr.Smith wrote the letter?
